The Jackson-Milton Bluejays will be defending their home field for the first time this season when they go up against the Brookfield Warriors at 5:00 p.m. on Thursday. The two teams each escaped (but just barely!) with wins against their previous opponents.
Jackson-Milton took a 11-run loss the last time they faced off against Crestview, but this time they managed to keep it close and that made all the difference. The Bluejays narrowly escaped with a victory as the squad sidled past the Rebels 7-5. For those keeping track at home, that's the closest win the Bluejays have posted since April 22, 2024.
The team relied heavily on Dom Krol, who scored two runs and stole a base while going 2-for-3.
Meanwhile, there's no place like home for Brookfield, who bounced back after a loss on the road on Monday. They had just enough and edged out Crestview 3-2 on Tuesday.
Brandon Hardman was a major factor while hitting and pitching. On the mound, he tossed two innings while giving up no earned runs or hits. Hardman was also solid in the batter's box, scoring a run and stealing two bases while going 1-for-1.
In other batting news, Devan Reardon was excellent, going 2-for-3 with one triple, one run, and one RBI.
Jackson-Milton was able to grind out a solid victory over Brookfield in their previous meeting back in April of 2023, winning 12-7. Do the Bluejays have another victory up their sleeve, or will the Warriors turn the tables on them? We'll have the answer soon enough.
